and apply glycerine.
For panels materials woven in
blocks that serve to show the con-

WHENEVER the clothing becomes wet

and most striking pieces of patchwork
made up the effect is quite different
from what it Is when it is spread out
flat, and it Of more const querca that
the center should be handsome than
that the corners should.
CARE should be taken OF even the
first baby teeth. 1t is said that bit
of wool dipped in myrrh will remove
discoloration and tartar from the
baby's teeth without injury to the
gum, and with benefit to the teeth.
The children should be fed with refer
ence to their teeth. The corn bread
upon which the negro depends may
well be given to our children. The

THE crinolette, just nicely support
ing the dress in tine back, is SO small
and go well concealed by draperies
that it's existence is barely suspected,
and when, instead of this, steels are
worn in the dress skirt, the number is
often reduced to one. The little mat
tress tOurnure sent home in all dresses
made by good modistes thoroughly
supports the dress away from the fig
ure at the waist. That is all that is
worn in the way of distendipg the
skirts by leading women of fashion.
A PRETTY ornament for the wall is
made by cutting a. fan out OF very stiff
pasteboard. Cover half of it with
plush or velvet; put this on plain; on
the other half put the folds of satin
lengthwise, to initiate the folds of @
half-opened fam Around the edge put
g. narrow band of swan 's-down or g.

cord and tassels. In the center of the
fan put an oval or round Christmas
card; it should be unfringed.
RIBBON work has grown greatly in
favor, and in execution much that is
seen now equals the best OF the ira-
ported old examples which first intro
duced it to us. A novel use of ribbon
work is in cylindrical sachets, in the
shape of diminutive rolling pins, with
the fringed out edges tied up with rib
bons instead of handles. They have
floral designs, and often some senti-
ment embroidered in French. They
are filed with cotton and perfumed,
and are intended to lie on table and
send forth their aroma with the warm
ing of the room.
VAsELINE, linseed or sweet oil or
warm mutton tallow should be ap-
piled to burn, and powdered corn
starch or wheat flour busted over and
soft linen or cotton cloth wrapped
around. Air must be kept from q
burn, and the oil end flour do this az
we'll as forming healing salve. One
part carbolic acid to eight parts olive
oil is said to be one OF the best RENE
dies for burns and scalds. Linen rags
are saturated with the lotion; they
are then spread smoothly over the.
burned part and covered with oil.silk
or gutta percha tissue to exclude the
air
THE Newmarkets and other protect
i've long wraps that areusually chosen
for early spring and travelling are
